MINNESOTA: “I don’t think about myself. The youth are the most innocent. Anything you can do to save them is worth it.” ♥️ Endless stories attack the MN Somali-American community— but Ebro Ahmed🦸🏽‍♂️saves a bus 🚌 full of kids and stories mostly leave out that he’s Somali? 🤔

Zelenskyy might be saving our democracy. The mad genius is bombing Russian data centers linked to FAKE NEWS bot farms. Without them, Putin’s midterm influence will accidentally fall from a 30th floor window. I 💙 Ukraine 🇺🇦

Chicago's Mariachi Herencia de México played the anthem before MNF, a first at Soldier Field. The crowd cheered. A MAGA account replied that Mexicans "have their own country and national anthem." The band is from Chicago. ¡Órale! 🎺

How about a law that all Data Centers must operate entirely off grid using renewable energy. And another requiring their cooling mechanisms use only closed loop cooling systems. How about if taxpayers don't end up paying the bills.

This is your daily reminder that Trump and Republicans are spending billions of your tax dollars on an unauthorized war in Iran and Stephen Miller’s ICE agenda while gutting Medicaid, slashing SNAP, and driving up your health care costs.

A quick word on Taco Bell: That's where we found the suspected lettuce, and it's not bc Taco Bell is gross. It's bc Taco Bell is REALLY GOOD at tracing product! Keeping track of exactly where they got their ingredients, & exactly what restaurants each shipment of ingredients went to!

This is a great piece, Anne. Thanks for re-upping. The powerful become complicit with the tyrant because they want to stay powerful. The hacks who could never gain prominence in any other situation become complicit to achieve glory.

Highly recommend this excellent thread by Mr. Spock, speaking to how draining the resistance has been for many our us… when it can feel like hitting your head against the wall most of the time. Give yourself the treat of reading the entire thread, and feeling understood and supported. 👏🏼 👏🏼 👏🏼
